Default Vlookup question

Hi,

Instead of creating a huge nested if function I'm trying to use vlookup. I
would like vlookup to look at text in a cell, find its exact match from a
list, then return the text next to it in the list, in another cell.

Here is the formula I have created: =VLOOKUP(C3, C193:E198, E3)

For example, if C3 has the text "one" it returns "red" to E3.

One Red
Two Blue
Three Green
Four Yellow

Thanks,

Craig
